This is just a partial list of this POS’s ban and block evasion tactics. Every two to three days, this asshole forces an instance to federate out, wasting their resources, and doesn’t give a shit who has banned or tried to block them. Then a large number from every one of these account is very heavily upvoted. Oh, that isn’t suspicious at all, especially when over 90% of what this fuckwqd posts is the laziest kind of repost (just blatantly ripped from .ml in a likely automated way similar to the the account creation likely is since they will make accounts on instances less than a day old).
I am fucking tired of this shitty, bad faith action and this is proof that it is high time that an instance needs the ability to straight up perma ban a username from any instance. I am aware that PieFed has this feature and right now it seems like something so incredibly basic. One person has the power to make all of Lemmy effectively useless, and it needs to stop being that way immediately.
I have logged out and read all of the replies. I do not believe them to believe them to be truthful or in good faith based on timing alone. cm0002 made an account on an instance that was less than a day old. They even made a post about it. How in the world is that possible without automation? And to your other replies, yes, I am deliberately rocking the boat because I believe that people need to be aware that this kind of thing is possible. Also, one of the predominant complaints on Lemmy is multiple posts to many communities. I don’t think that there is a bigger offender. Many people see things multiple times and can’t stop it because of the account spam.
I’ve calmed down a lot (re; your comment about me not being around - I needed to actually step back and get some perspective). While this was posted as a rant, I do stand by the initial points (though framing it as ban evasion was admittedly me just fuming). I should have punched a wall, or something instead - I don’t know. I’m not entirely intelligent nor emotionally stable by any means. I think something about hitting the block button one too many times made me snap.
I really should just leave all kinds of social interactions because my brain can break like this, I guess. You’ve been fantastic to me and gave me a real shot at making good posts. My insane bipolar brain is telling me to run right now.
It’s not automation, it’s just autism. You can see when new instances come online and he likes helping out small ones so he keeps an eye out.
I get rocking the boat. That’s fine. I’m not saying don’t. I’m just perturbed by accusations made with zero evidence as if it’s just truth. I don’t recommend punching a wall (or running, shit happens), and ranting is what the community is there for, but question things more so than accuse.
And while he is a friend, I’ve questioned before why he’s using so many alts and told him to chill the hell out. I also think he should on that front because I like him on lemmy otherwise. So I’m not just sitting on the sidelines completely defending him. Just… yea.
You’ve talked me down on several occasions, and this should be added to them, I think. @cm002@lemmy.zip I’d like you to know that this wasn’t personal - I just got extremely frustrated, and will delete my untoward comments if you deem that I should.
Honestly, I had no idea that they were only open for a day, I just peruse Lemmyverse.net and pick instances that seem interesting or have funny/cool sounding names 😂
